If one lives in the United States, it is not wrong to try. As conditions worsen the capitalist state will blame anyone but the capitalists for its decline. That decline is obvious. It is easy to see how capitalists cause the problems more than trans people or any other minority that the fascists will blame.

Harsher times lead to more restless people. The question is how can that energy be channeled into? Socialism or barbarism?

It is not wrong to make the superstructure of the US society to understand how capitalism actually works. It is up to China to do its part and provide better deals for all developing nations not do all its deals with the IMF and World Bank. The destruction and undermining of imperialist trade relations will lead to a decline in the imperial core to become like all other nations. It is the duty of communists regardless of nation to lead where they are to build socialism according to their environment’s material conditions.

Would I deny that the Socialists in the west are weak as hell? No. There are protests but they are sparsely attended and of course the media doesn’t report on them. The media doesn’t cover the masive waves of strikes that much either, but that is an indicator that the potential exists.

The developing nations just need to keep more of the wealth they generate, then the rest of the pieces will fall into place.

The way I see it is, that I will die in a nuclear war or I will not. As long as I am able I’ll push American people towards socialism in what means I am able for the sake of this planet. If I die, my obligations to this world are ended. Simply accepting defeat when it is not guaranteed doesn’t sit well with me. Accepting nuclear war and climate change to destroy our species is not a condition that I will accept without trying to stop them.
